Sheng He raised his eyebrows and raised his hand to pluck another leaf of the green grass.

"Don't think about lying to me or running away. I need to practice now. Otherwise, you can help me build my foundation."

"Or..."

Sheng He bared his teeth and slowly approached the three little kids, revealing an evil smile.

"I'll eat you all!"

The three little radishes hugged each other tightly, even their leaves were tangled together, as if they were afraid that Sheng He would eat them.

Sheng He curled his lips slightly.

Children are so gullible.

On the other side…

Chu Heng was awkwardly dealing with Xu Ze who had transformed into a wolf.

If there was only one Xu Ze, Chu Heng could certainly deal with it easily, but unfortunately, there were more than a dozen wolf monsters around, staring at him covetously. As long as Chu Heng showed the slightest flaw, the wolves would swarm over him.

Chu Heng already had quite a few injuries on his body.

He looked out the window tiredly. Zhao Yanran had been gone for an hour and had not returned yet.

An hour ago, seeing that there was really no other way, with Chu Heng's tacit approval, Zhao Yanran finally brought up the title of Xuanxiao Immortal, the world's number one swordsman.

Considering that Chu Heng and Zhao Yanran were both direct disciples of Immortal Master Xuanxiao, Xu Ze relented and agreed to give them an incense stick of time to go back and get the spirit stone, but one of them had to be left behind as a hostage.

Qingyun Sect is not far from Cangshan City, but with Chu Heng's speed, an incense stick of time is enough.

But Zhao Yanran cried in Chu Heng's arms. She said she was afraid to stay here alone, and she was even more afraid that the wolf monsters would hurt her if Chu Heng left.

Chu Heng couldn't bear to see Zhao Yanran's tears, so he agreed out of weakness.

He thought that even if Zhao Yanran came back a little late, with his swordsmanship, it would be no problem for him to deal with these wolf monsters.

He waited for one incense stick, two incense sticks... Now an hour has passed, and Zhao Yanran still hasn't come back.

Just when Chu Heng was distracted, a wolf demon rushed up from behind and grabbed Chu Heng's back fiercely.

With a "puff!" sound, Chu Heng's robes were torn and blood gushed out.

Upon seeing this, Xu Ze immediately rushed forward and slapped Chu Heng on the chest. Chu Heng was already injured and had no time to resist. He was knocked against the wall by the huge palm wind, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.

Chu Heng covered his chest and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He leaned against the wall and wanted to bend down to pick up the sword, but the sword was kicked away.

Xu Ze changed back into human form, folded his arms and looked down at Chu Heng condescendingly.

"What a loving Senior Brother Chu is. He is so devoted to Junior Sister that he didn't say a word even when he was beaten like this."

"But where is your Junior Sister Yanran?"

Xu Ze sneered, suddenly flashed to the door and kicked it open.

"Look, when you were being beaten just now, your junior sister was listening outside the door the whole time!"

"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately!"

Zhao Yanran was startled and quickly looked up at Chu Heng in panic. She had indeed returned a long time ago.

She had a good idea originally. When Chu Heng was beaten to death, she would rush in and hand the spirit stone to Xu Ze. In this way, she could save Chu Heng when he was most vulnerable.

Chu Heng should be very touched, right?

By that time, she would not only be able to increase Chu Heng's favorability, but also be able to vent her anger in front of Xu Ze.

Even if Chu Heng asked her about it later, she could say that it was her first time to come to Cangshan City alone and she accidentally got lost. Chu Heng would definitely not blame her.

But how could this happen?

Why did Xu Ze discover himself?

System: It’s too shameful to watch. I really regret having bound myself to such a host.

Seeing a trace of confusion in Zhao Yanran's eyes, Xu Ze approached Zhao Yanran and asked softly: "Are you curious about how I found you?"

Zhao Yanran shrank her neck and dared not speak.

However, Xu Ze pointed at Chu Heng and burst into laughter.

"You just like such a stupid woman? Hahahahahaha, I'm a wolf! A wolf! Does she think that no one can find her after she uses the concealment beads?"

"The concealment bead can only fool useless cultivators like you. As soon as she appeared." Xu Ze sniffed, then fanned his nose in disgust, "I smelled the stench of a dead person."

"I thought she was here to save you, but I didn't expect that she had been standing outside watching you get beaten."

"Alas! I met the wrong person!"

Xu Ze shook his head, turned around gracefully, and extended his hand to Zhao Yanran.

"Fairy, give me the spirit stone, and you can take your brother out of Miaoxiang Tower."

Zhao Yanran lowered her head and tremblingly handed the spirit stone in her hand to Xu Ze, not daring to look at Xu Ze at all.

She walked quickly to Chu Heng, helped Chu Heng up, and whispered, "Brother, let's go."

Chu Heng didn't say anything. He forced himself to pick up the sword that was kicked aside and limped out of the door.

Zhao Yanran hurriedly chased after him: "Big Brother! Listen to my explanation!"

Xu Ze played with the spirit stone in his hand, made two "tsk tsk" sounds, and waved his hand. The wolf monsters disappeared, and in the dark night, Miaoxiang Tower returned to silence.

…

"Brother! Brother, don't be fooled by that wolf demon. He just wants to alienate us. I... I just accidentally got lost and that's why I'm late. Brother, I didn't mean it."

Along the way, Chu Heng didn't say a word until they reached the foot of Jianfeng. Seeing that Chu Heng still had no intention of speaking, Zhao Yanran finally became anxious.

She grabbed Chu Heng, tears streaming down her face: "Brother, I really didn't mean it. If you still want to blame me, I'll go back and let those wolf monsters beat me up too!"

"As long as Senior Brother can forgive me, I won't be afraid even if my face is scratched!"

Zhao Yanran said this and turned to walk down the mountain. Just after she took a few steps, a hand grabbed her.

Chu Heng tiredly pulled Zhao Yanran back. His wound was still bleeding. Xu Ze's palm was very heavy. Even now he still felt a dull pain in his internal organs.

But from beginning to end, Zhao Yanran never asked about her injuries.

Looking at Zhao Yanran's sad look, Chu Heng felt tired and annoyed for the first time.

"The matter has been resolved. What are you going to do now? Are you going to be beaten by them again? What do you want to do then? Invite Master to come over and clean up the mess for you?"

"Big Brother, I..."

"That's enough. I don't blame you. Go back and rest first. I still need to heal my wounds, so I won't send you off."

After Chu Heng finished speaking, he stuffed a Huiyuan Pill into his mouth.

Zhao Yanran stood there, looking at Chu Heng's back, and felt a sense of panic for no reason.

"System! System, what's Chu Heng's favorability? Has it dropped again?"

"Chu Heng's current favorability: seventy-eight."
